Hello, Texas Baptists! Kathleen and I were at First Baptist Church of Conroe recently. It was a wonderful morning of worship. Thanks to First Baptist for making us feel at home.
Sunday, Feb. 15, was a big day for the Hardage family! My granddaughter, Anne Marie, was dedicated at Park Cities Baptist Church in Dallas. This little girl brings so much joy to Kathleen and me. It was an honor to watch as our son and his wife dedicated their daughter to the Lord.
